I have built a very simple Flash gallery in CS4 using AS2. It calls the images from an XML file and works great. The problem is that the captions underneath the images are in a fixed width text box. They look fine underneath horizontal images, but I want to have the text shift in when a vertical image is loaded, and is narrower.

How do I scale text like this? [URL]

I have a strange and extremely annoying problem.I have a simple would-be navigation bar that works perfectly with this code:
Code:
import gs.TweenLite;
var buttons:Array = new Array();
var btnProps:Array = new Array();[code].....
It takes the 5 items in the menu and when they are individually moused-over, they simple move 10 points to the left, then when the mouse is off they move back to their original position.Now I want to change it so that they scale up a tiny bit in both width and height. I've been trying to do this for some time and I have no idea why this code does not work:
Code:
var _rect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(_btn.x, _btn.y, _btn.width, _btn.height);
btnProps.push(_rect);
}[code]...
Everything in these two versions is EXACTLY the same except for this part I've posted.
if i was to make a flash website is there a way that i could have it scale the width to fit the browser, and scale the height so that it keeps the same aspect ratio and doesn't stretch the contents out of proportion?

My website is going to have a main wrapper that is set to a max-width property for compatible browsers. It will stretch to 940px across at max. When scaled down I would like the swf to scale proportionately with it. Like an image with width percent applied. The flash movie has the dimensions of 940 × 360 pixels.
I can't seem to figure out the correct attributes to add to the embed tag to get it to do this.I am currently using jquery flash embed, but am open to other options, though this is my ideal.In the example I have set the flash background to black.
When resize the browser window the flash movie doesn't scale proportionately to the div, only the photo does, leaving a blank canvas (black), while the div height stays the same. I can't add a height value in the CSS.How do I make this scale correctly? Adding a noscale param only crops the image. The swf's height doesn't scale also.
Does anyone know how I can retrieve the "ORIGINAL" stage height and width that was set during compile of an Air/Flash ApplicationI have set the Application to compile to 1920x1080;I have stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;and stage.nativeWindow.maximize();But when I trace stage.stageWidth I get 1280 which is the resolution of the screen.I was hoping to get the 1920.I cannot use stage.width or stage.getBounds(stage) because this returns 6000. Due to items being masked off screen.
With the stage.stageWidth being the screen resolution, I was hoping I could use that and mathematically work out the original using stage.scaleX. but even with SHOW_ALL scaling the entire application, stage.scaleX returns 1EDIT: I know what "Show all" does, you do not need to tell me about it.I also know what stage.width and stage.stageWidth do, but stage.stageWidth is returning what I believe is incorrect in this example and need an alternative.
Is there a way to set the width of a text field equal to the width of the text in it?
View 1 RepliesHow does flash scale for fullscreen?For example, if I draw a shape and give it a width and height of 100px (square)...does that scale up proportionally when the flash is made full screen? Or does that object stay 100px x 100px?

I am creating a nav in flex that pulls in buttons dynamically from xml. THe problem i am having is setting the button width to the text width. currently the buttons are all the same width and if the text is larger then it just cuts off. I've tried a few ways of doing this:Setting button width to 100%On creation of the button try to set the width of the button to the text programmatically. Something like evt.target.width = evt.target.textWidth;

I have a Flash CS4 Professional version installed in my machine. Here is my problem.
1st - I'm importing an image to stage and set the width and height to match the image. (everything is good, no problem) 2nd - I am using the FLVPlayback components build-in from Flash CS4. It does load the video and everything. (everything seems good) 3rd - Publish the video to my local drive (everything seems good) 4th - I could play the video from my local pc and it loads fine and fast 5th - Upload everthing from my local folder to the Web server, it does display the background image but not the video. It has a white blank screen. What is going on? I copy the exact folder from local to server. What have I missed? How could I make the video to load?

What would be the best and fastest way to scale/resize an image which is injected into PHP file which is called via AJAX with use of jQuery?
So I am trying to assure the image does not bypass the width of 600px and height of 410px but I do not wish for the image to be maxing out this dimensions and look weird, it has to be displayed as it would be, but just in smaller scale.
Also if there is a way I can do this with a already existing Flash script that would be great, but I do not recall of any good ones which are as simple as one used by Google on there Picasaweb service.
I have made an application where you can design your own greeting cards. I use matrices to scale and rotate images, and I always need to know what scale the image has.
It works when the image isn't rotated, by taking the value from matrix.a or .d which are the scaleX and scaleY values. But when I rotate the image, using the matrix.rotate() function, the a and d values no longer corresponds to the scale of the image.
How can I get/calculate the scale value of an object that is rotated? And I don't want to scale the image by using the scaleX and scaleY methods.
Why is it that when you animate a photograph (especially animating scaleX or scaleY), it looks so crappy? I've tried caching as a bitmap, turning off compression, etc, but not What's the story here?
View 5 RepliesI am wondering how would I scale an image on browser resize with minimum and maximum width and height parameters?
I know how to use the Event.RESIZE function to make my image proportional with the browser using stage.stageWidth/Height, but I am trying to figure out a way to have a movieclip or image scale up or down to a certain dimension such as on browser resize the image max would be 640x480 and the minimum being 320x240.
I'm trying to make a zoom in and out effect, on images in a movieclip, using the mouse wheel. But, there is another mouse event that scrolls through the frames of the movie clip. I need it to stay zoomed in, and out respectively, when you scroll to the next frame.

I want to have a background image that resizes to the browser window (my other elements retaining their size) - but stays in scale. I have been using the code provided at gotoandlearn which tiles the image. Here is the code used there.

var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");

When I created a Bitmap object from drawling the pixels of an image and then scale that Bitmap too large (or even too small) the image disappears or in some cases distorts in what appears to be random pixels barfed all over my screen.

http:[url]....In my opinion, the way in which the photographs on this website scale, is perfect.I know how to load an image, dynamically, and add it as a child and in fact scale it.What I don't know, is how to scale it in the way the designer has in the example above.
The code I use to scale the Child (the image) at the moment is this:
//IMAGE WIDTH OVER HEIGHT
var ratio:Number = (1052/700);
//SET HEIGHT OF CHILD[code]......
The designer appears to have used minHeight and minWidth commands to ensure the image doesn't scale beyond certain height and widths.
